The Secretary of State to Mr. W. J. Bryan
My Dear Mr. Secretary:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I am very much gratified that you so fully endorse the note in reply to Austria’s statement regarding the trade in munitions of war. Of course I knew that it embodied your views in regard to the subject and I am sure an editorial in the Commoner on the subject will have a very wide influence.
You may be sure we are doing all we can to stop the clamor for intervention in Mexico. You know my views in regard to intervention and that I would use every effort to prevent us from being dragged into a conflict which can only bring unhappiness to this country.
With warm regards to yourself and Mrs. Bryan from Mrs. Lansing and me, believe me [etc.]
